Why the New MacBook Pro Will Cost You Twice as Much

There are a few things I feel are missed in this write-up.

The calculation on needed drive size may be misleading in the long run as we move more to cloud storage. It seems the method you get data from your iPhone to your computer is to use iCloud or other cloud provider, so your data is already in the cloud.

The battery issue is not addressed by apple, but Microsoft seems to be leading the way here with continuum and the surface book where replacing a part of the hardware extends the life of the overall device. A new surface book base gives new life to an existing tablet.

In the phone arena, we could see a phone that plugs into a doc which has it's own GPU and higher powered processor. The phone is essentially managing your settings and apps, data is in the cloud.

It's a very interesting time...
